p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;""Ella Lily Rimmer! Emily Jane Rimmer!" harped the voice of a woman, she sounded a wee bit like a Scott and sounded madder than a wet hen. Two young girls sat on either side of a young man who was sweating like a whore in Church. "You mind me and leave Mr. Lister alone!"/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;" /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"Dave Lister's eyes opened to a small room, not one found on Red Dwarf or the Starbug. Dave's eyes saw the two young girls, spitting images of Arnold J Rimmer. In the doorway, where things were still a bit blurry, stood a woman with wild red hair who was heavily pregnant. The pregnant woman came closer; Lister had no idea who she was. "Really, Em, I don't understand why you had to bring a library."/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;" /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;""Ella and myself wanted to read to Mr. Lister so he could recover quicker," explained Emily, hugging a book close to her chest. Dave could make out the title on the well worn cover: Alice in Wonderland./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;" /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"The Scotswoman said nothing, only marveled at the pile of books that lay at the foot of the bed. She giggled. "Your daddy really spoils you girls," she said. She clasped her hand over her mouth and rushed out of the room, leaving Ella to frown./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;" /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"Dave sat up and the two girls were back to sitting on the bed. Lister looked about the room which was as neat as pin. "I'm sorry about mummy, the baby has been making her sick," explained Ella. "Our little brother loves to act up."/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;" /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"Lister's voice felt rough in his throat. His head throbbed in pain. "Babies do that," said Lister, sitting up even more. "Could you girls tell me where I am?"/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;" /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;""Rimmer Manor," said Emily. "In Bibury, England."/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;" /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;""You mean I'm back on Earth!?" cried Lister. Forgetting everything about Rimmer being a hologram. A smile slowly spread across his lips, he could go and start a life, outside of a small cramped spaceship! "I'm not in space anymore!?" He suddenly wasn't worried about why he woke up here. "Wait…did you say Rimmer?"/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;" /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;""He's my husband," said the woman coming back into the room. "Arnold J Rimmer. We turned this drafty old manor into a home, where we welcomed two wonderful girls and we will be welcoming this wonderful baby boy in a month or two."/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;" /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"Lister's pulse began to quicken, causing his heart to beat in an uneven rhythm. Rimmer was a hologram, and he didn't believe a hologram could make children with a livey. "You don't have an H on your forehead," said Lister. "Can Holograms even reproduce?"/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;" /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;""Holo-what? What are you talking about Dave Lister?"/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;" /p
p class="MsoNormal"span style="mso-tab-count: 1;" /span"Rimmer is dead!" cried Lister. "Red Dwarf had a radiation leak and he died!"/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;" /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;""I beg your pardon? The Red Dwarf is still in commission. In fact it was at his award ceremony where these two decided to come and make an appearance," she huffed. "But if you knew Arnie, you would know he needs an heir."/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;" /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"Ella beamed and showed him a pin proudly displaying the words: Red Dwarf Baby. "My sister and I are the only Red Dwarf babies to date!" she beamed. "Daddy said it was his favorite part of his award ceremony!"/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;" /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;""He got rewarded for being a vending machine technician smeg head?"/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;" /p
p class="MsoNormal""They asked him to be Captain of the Red Dwarf," beamed the woman. "Such a brilliant man, Arnold. Such a brilliant moment when he asked for my hand in marriage. They are the reason he didn't take the Red Dwarf job, he couldn't leave behind two such beautiful girls." /p
